plus index/bibliography (CW19 & 20). It does not, however, include his autobiography (Memories, Dreams, Reflections, his interviews (C.G. Jung Speaking), his Letters (2 volumes of "Letters" plus the Freud/Jung Letters: C. G. Jung Letters in Two Volumes 1906-1961, Letters, & The Freud/Jung Letters). Thus (with the 5 missing volumes) they total to 24 (2 dozen) volumes of Jung in English that we can read (mostly translated from German). So, this set of 19 real volumes is the bulk of Jung presently available in English. It's expensive (since it's in hardback) but incredible. Jung broke new ground that even today is scary to most psychologists/psychiatrists. He included mythology, some religion, some sociology/social psychology, etc. Jung was indubitably a genius & most assuredly a groundbreaker. This collection is invaluable to the serious Jung student. I think most of the Jung institutes/centers require its reading (if not ownership) of their candidates. Incredible brilliance herein.

P.S. I'd put in all the links, but the maximum allowed is ten.

Why anyone would pay $1400+ for a used set when you can call Princeton Press directly at 800-777-4726 and get all 21 hardcover volumes brand new for around $1300 is beyond me.
